Monty Panesar and Olly Stone Set to Shine at Great Witchingham Cricket Club

Former England cricketer Monty Panesar is gearing up for an exciting season playing village cricket with Great Witchingham, where he hopes to showcase his skills and potentially reignite his international career. The club recently made some big signings, including Olly Stone from Nottinghamshire CCC and Jake Weatherald from Adelaide Strikers.

Panesar, who took 167 wickets in 50 career tests, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming season, jokingly mentioning that he might just make a comeback in the professional game if he has a successful run with Great Witchingham. The 41-year-old spinner is looking forward to the challenge and is eager to make a mark in the local cricket scene.

On the other hand, Olly Stone, who has had a career plagued by injuries, is determined to get back into the England national team. The 30-year-old fast bowler has played three tests for England and is hoping to put together a string of impressive performances to catch the selectors’ attention once again.

Both players are excited to represent Great Witchingham and contribute to the team’s success in the East Anglian Premier League. Stone, a Norfolk native, sees his return to the club as a homecoming and a way to give back to the community that supported him during challenging times.

With Stone’s blistering pace and Panesar’s spin wizardry, Great Witchingham is poised to make a strong push for their first EAPL title. The addition of these talented players not only boosts the team’s chances on the field but also brings excitement and anticipation to the local cricketing community. Fans can expect thrilling matches and standout performances from these two seasoned cricketers as they embark on this new chapter in their careers.
